Introduction: In the world of process control instrumentation, the word “Accuracy” is often the only metric discussed. While accuracy is vital, there is another equally critical factor that ensures your operations remain stable over time: Repeatability. At Mass Flow Technology, we don’t just calibrate for a single moment of precision; we ensure your meters deliver reliable performance day after day.
Section 1: The Difference Between Accuracy and Repeatability
- Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value.
- Repeatability is the ability of an instrument to provide the same result under the same conditions consistently.+2
- Why it matters: A meter can be “accurate” during a one-time test but fail to provide consistent data during a 24-hour production cycle. For industries like Oilfield, Refining, and Pharmaceuticals, inconsistency leads to wasted resources and safety risks.+1
Section 2: Achieving Factory-Quality Standards Our goal for every repair and calibration is to reproduce the original factory calibration. This is achieved through:+2
- Technical Expertise: Over 30 years of experience in specialized Flow Technology.+1
- Certified Precision: Using our Certified Gravimetric Calibration Flow Laboratory to ensure every adjustment meets global standards.+1
- Comprehensive Testing: We don’t just “fix” a meter; we clean, test, and calibrate it to ensure it performs as it did the day it was manufactured.+2
Section 3: Compliance You Can Trust Maintaining accuracy and repeatability isn’t just about performance—it’s about compliance. MFT’s calibration processes are:
- ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accredited: Ensuring our laboratory meets international quality management standards.+2
- NIST Traceable: Every calibration is fully traceable to the International System of Units (SI) through the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
- Regulatory Alignment: Our methods comply with EPA, API, Greenhouse Gas, and U.S. Customs standards, making us a preferred partner for utility companies and regulated industries.+2
Conclusion: Don’t let instrumentation drift compromise your bottom line. Whether you are using Micro Motion, Endress+Hauser, or Yokogawa devices, our team provides the expert troubleshooting and preventative maintenance needed to keep your systems accurate and repeatable.
